Biographical / Historical
Arnold Genthe was born in Berlin, Germany on January 8, 1869. He emigrated to San Francisco
in 1895 where he taught himself photography. He photographed the Chinese Americans living
and working in San Francisco's Chinatown. Genthe opened a studio in San Francisco sometime
between 1890 and 1900 where he made portraits of prominent San Francisco citizens, artists,
authors, dancers, and actors. The 1906 San Francisco Earthquake and Fire destroyed his
studio, but provided him with the opportunity to document much of the destruction in the
city. Genthe rebuilt his studio in San Francisco in 1907 and published his Chinatown
photographs in 1908. He moved to New York in 1911, continuing to work in photography,
primarily in portraiture, until his death in 1942.

Scope and Content
Comprises film and glass negatives; and original photographic prints created by Arnold
Genthe between 1895 and 1925. Most of the photographic prints are signed by Genthe. Also
contains copy prints, presumably created from the negatives in this collection.
Collection contains a sub-series of original portraits of artists, authors, dancers,
actors, and other prominent San Franciscans who were contemporaries of Genthe, including
Jack London. Another sub-series contains 16 original and many copy prints of photographs of
the aftermath of the 1906 San Francisco Earthquake and Fire.
Bulk of collection is in the Chinatown sub-series which contains a few original prints and
many copy prints of San Francisco's Chinatown. Known as Tangrenbu, this 10 block area was
inhabited by most of San Francisco's Chinese American population. Photographs depict Chinese
American children and families; tradespeople; and street scenes showing details of
Chinatown's architecture, store fronts, and inhabitants. Many of the titles Genthe chose for
his images contain language and descriptions considered offensive. Please see John Kuo Wei
Tchen's introduction in

Chinatown
for a contemporary analysis of Genthe's photographs of Chinatown.
